[Q] Group Texting blank messages - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

On my VZW m8 when I send a group message a couple of my friends get blank messages from me. One person is on sprint with a Note 3 and the other is ATT on WP. Everyone else gets my group texts but these two don't. Anyone else have this issue?
It did this from stock and still does this now that I am rooted, s-offed and running Clean Rom 1.2

[Q] Stock Google Messaging App and iPhone Group Messages

Let me preface this by saying that I'm not sure if this is a ROM issue or a general issue so I'm posting in both locations to get more coverage.
I've been running Newt's GPE ROM for a while now with very few problems and am very satisfied. However, today I received what I believe is a group message from several iPhones that my friends own. Only one of the messages actually got through, the rest just show delivery reports and empty messages. I am able to get messages from single iPhones and am also fairly sure I can do group messaging with several other android devices.
I'm using the Google default messaging app, and have allowed group message SMS. Any insight as to what is going on?

Iphone MMS

I have had cm11 installed for several months. I cannot receive messages from Iphones in a group message. All other messages are fine from all other phones. If someone with an iphone sends me a direct message I receive it. However if I am in a group message with iphones thier messages are blank. Does anyone know how I can fix this.
I am running the most recent CM11 nightly. I was always able to get MMS from Iphones on stock. Since rooting and installing CM11 I cannot receive group messages from Iphones. It just comes in as a blank message.
My data is on. I have tried adjusting VPN settings (although maybe incorrectly). I would have posted this in the Official CM11 thread but I dont have enough post. I have been on the site for years I just read and never post.

Is there no one that knows or knows someone with the answer to this. I cannot be the only one. I have a E970.

[Q] People are not receiving my sms messages?

I rooted my m8 for t-mobile and am running resurrection remix Lollipop 5.1, I don't think the Rom has anything to do with it because I have used other rooms before and still had the same issue. Does not have to deal with my sms app either as I have tried multiple apps including my stock one and hangouts and the issue still occurs. My texts will not send correctly. I will text someone, and everything will seem fine, my phone says that the text has been sent, however the person never received the text. This happens with multiple people. Can anyone help?

Not receiving some group text messages?

I am using a Dev Ed HTC m9 on ATT(unrooted). I am having this annoying issue where, seemingly randomly, I do not receive some text messages from some people in a group text. I would receive maybe 1 out of 5 messages sent by one person, and it switches between people so its not like it's one person's issue. One on one texts seem to work fine. One thing to note is that everyone in the group text has an iphone and probably uses imessage sometimes, but I'm not sure if that's the problem. I have had the same group chat with the same people while using my galaxy s3 on att with no issues like this, it only came up after I switched phones and sim cards(same number tho).
I made sure my APN settings were set to ATT and I have called att several times after upgrading from the galaxy s3 while keeping the same number on the m9, but it hasn't worked.
One thing that is interesting is that textra seems to receive all the messages (or atleast more than the stock messenger app, as far as I know), while google messenger, stock messenger, and hangouts sms all seem to show the same incomplete messages threads.

[Q] Text messages from one contact blank on wifes and my Note 4 using stock app

[Q] On both my Note 4 (rooted running hybrid X 2.0 lollipop 5.01) and my wife's Note 4 (rooted running Hybrid X lollipop 5.1.1) in group text messages most of the texts from her brother are blank. They have his name but no message. A few will come through and if he sends a message to just one of us it works. It does not matter if he has a picture attached or just plain text. He is on Verizon and has been to one of their stores to see if the problem was on his end. They said it must be on our Sprint end, of course.
I have deleted his contact on both our phones and re-added it and still get blank messages from him when he replies to a group message. A few will slip through where we see his text but most are just his name with the body of the message blank. This does not happen with any other contact regardless of carrier. I have been through all the settings in the stock app and changed things one at a time but nothing there fixes the problem. Googling turned up a few with similar issues but with no suggestions that fixed our problem. All the others in the group message get his replies every time.
Any ideas on a fix? It must be rare because searches do not find much that is similar.
Thanks
Would he and the others happen to have iphones? I've read somewhere there can be issues like that between some Android and some iphones.
Nope, he has a Droid Turbo v5.1. Others with iPhone seem to work it's just texts from this one brother.

If he's the only one then... Perhaps he could try a different message app. It's a strange issue.
